Investors Deal Flow

The Wayne Brown Institute acts as a gateway into high-quality venture deal flow. WBI's investors and Cooperative Venturing Network® consider us a premier trusted referral source. Investors that become mentors, participate in our events and are apart of our elite network of venturers, are systematically introduced to deals that are fundable and have successful exits. Many venture capitalists refer to us as their proprietary deal flow source in the Intermountain West.

  • Over $1.3 billion in sales
  • $49 million in State tax revenue
  • Supported over 15,000 jobs.
Also, as compiled in the MountainWest Capital Network 2009 Deal Flow Book, WBI alumni participated in financial transactions exceeding $2 billion in 2009.
